The engine meets euro5 standard, fuel efficient, and at the same time providing meaty torque at all RPM range. That is the new standard these days. The old days of revving to 8000rpm to have a taste of power is over because those engines have no torque, noisy, and not fuel efficient. to achieve 100hp per litre capacity is not new but the twin charge engine from Volkswagen group done it in a clean and torquey manner.
